Surprise your friends and family with this easy to prepare, decorative and delicious old-time favorite, Wiener Schnitzel.

You may use pork, veal, chicken breast or turkey breast, however the traditional way of making schnitzel is using pork and that what I’m using today.

Schnitzel is very traditional and popular in Hungary, you will find it on the menu of every restaurant and most households also make it weekly. There is another dish called Parizsi in Hungarian which is best translated as Parisian Slice (or Parisian Schnitzel). It is made almost the same way as Schnitzel, however the coating is a bit different. Where you make Schnitzel by coating each slice of meat with flour, dipping it in egg wash, then coating it in bread crumbs, you make the Parisian slice (Parisian Schnitzel) by coating each meat slice with flour, then egg wash, then flour again.

I personally like Parisian Slice (Schnitzel) more than Wiener Schnitzel. However both are equally delicious and fit any occasion.
